Simple Night Stand

This small nightstand was a present for my brother. It was one of those relatively quick and easy deals made from big box store poplar and pocket holes. I really like pocket holes in certain applications and this was one where they seemed appropriate to me.

I wish I would have taken more pics during construction…but alas I did not. Now that I’m on lumberjocks I will definitely be documenting more during my builds. The drawer is lock rabbet joints at all for corners and I made the handle out of an exotic hardwood scrap that I could not identify. Finished with gel stain and spray-on poly. Thanks for looking!

Yes Angie I did use the Kreg Jig. I really like my K4 jig system. If you have the means I would highly recommend buying it as you WILL use it. My opinion of course, but it has come in handy many times. I’ve used it on most any or all of my projects that have been painted. They’re not the prettiest joint in the world, but like I said in description of this project…pocket holes are great in certain applications. Give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed!
